Even when you go out and eat, if you get terrible service do you still tip the waitress? I would hope not. If you do a mediocre job you get 10%, average 15%, good 20%, excellent 30%. That's the scale I use when I go out and dine.

So why all this pressure to "tip" (seems to me like it's a fee rather than a tip since some make such a big deal about it) if the driver doesn't at least do a good job? If you load/unload my luggage and are friendly you get a tip...otherwise you don't. If it's mandatory then it's a fee and Delta should pay for it.

If you think this makes me seem like a "cheap sob" then giving someone money for barely doing what's required in their job description is purely idiotic unless you love giving your money away.

It's also in poor form when the f/a's drop their bags at the back of the van and rush to get the best seats!:mad:

More than once, their bags did not get to the hotel! Stolen right there!

I usually wait at the back until all the bags are loaded, but I also still do the "boogie man" check in the hotel halls so the f/a's can check their rooms...

Guess I'm ready for the old folks home! BadFlaps, where do you recommend?:D
